Nike has been quick to release athletes after they run into off the field troubles but for the first time the company has chosen to bring one of those athletes back.
Nike will release the 2005 Air Zoom Vick 2s in 2015, which is the first time they’ll affiliate themselves with Vick since his dog fighting conviction.
Our friends at TheShoeGame.com broke the story:
Previously, there were only rumors floating around about the possibility of the Nike Air Zoom Vick 2 returning and now we have images of the actual production sample. We haven’t seen this trainer release since 2005 so Nike bringing it back 10 years later falls in line with their normal retro schedule. Michael Vick’s second signature shoe will indeed retro Fall of 2015. The original “Falcons” colorway is up first for the Nike Air Zoom Vick 2.
I wonder if this means athletes such as Adrien Peterson or Ray Rice have a chance at becoming Nike athletes in the future, or if Mike Vick is the lone exception.
